How about I simply consider not having a Mazda Miata at all

Curious if Jalopnik will do a review on the other other white meat electric car: Hydrogen Fuel Cells. I don’t see a Mirai review or Honda’s recent Clarity either. Granted it’s probably only useful consumer advice for Californians but that’s where this Bolt test was done

Now playing

After watching him slow down after hitting 391 km/h, I was reminded how after several seconds of gradual braking he was still going about 250 km/h. James May recounts this disorienting sense of speed in his Veyron top speed run

You could say things at Uber............... are lit, Pham

Well yeah, no one is in any immediate danger of jumping off a cliFF until they actually jump. So Nevada taxpayers are safe for now until they get pushed oFF by the state oFFicials. Who brought them to that ledge and why is the kind of stuFF that needs to be asked. The risk is nothing to scoFF at and it’s not just

Does it still have stupid sequential turn signals? My gut says yes.

It’s a very different mindset at Faraday Future, Hong Bae explained. Everything is geared towards getting the car into production, getting the car on sale.

I also spot long vertical headlamps, dual hood vents, door handles. Obviously they’re different cars but they share similar design cues from the side profile.

That front side profile looks very familiar

I put hidden magic plug cells in XFC1048575. One row up and one column to the left of the bottom right corner.

Good, Good....now RWB it.

There is no “jump in stock prices” for Faraday Future as it’s a privately owned company. Unless you meant LeShi on the China exchange?

Great work by the Faraday Future engineers. Although it sounds like Jalopnik has been shitting on the company and I myself have been putting in my 0.02 about the company’s (mis)management, I really do appreciate the hard work the engineers are doing behind the scenes because they are the real reason behind the company

I have an unreasonable disdain for this car. It’s not as good looking as the Miata it’s based on and the engine just seems like crap to me. The body looks like a Dodge version of a Miata, rather than a Fiat. Overhangs seem much larger too, and while that may look good on the original, blowing those dimensions up to

Yeah but this is Jalopnik. When AMG and M’s are given as (poor) recommendations by the staff, it’s up to the commentariat to correct their misguided and misinformed ways.

If he wants to sacrifice some HP for more room, indeed the last gen GS350 F-Sport is a great choice. I like the front end design too. But in a few years, the current GSF will likely depreciate like rocks and be around 40-50k so that would be a nice upgrade at that time too

I think it could be a little tight for him perhaps, but an AMG would be even worse. Those seats are so heavily and narrowly bolstered it would be almost impossible for a big guy to get comfortably seated. I would say the ISF seats are great for daily driving as well as spirited driving. The door aperture isnt that

You’re not alone. This is the right answer. The only answer.

Lexus ISF. All the good of the AMG and M except without the long term service cost nightmare and unreliability. A budget of 40K can get you the best year (2012+) with an updated suspension design, best looking wheels for the platform, LED DRL headlamps, and updated interior. The Aisin 8 speed auto is very competent,
